Don't Just Take It From Us!

Fabulous all the way around. Best food around, far exceeding my expectation for a hotel restaurant. Incredible cocktails & good wine choices. Breakfast, lunch, dinner and late room service are all spectacular. The Ambassador is a wonderful hotel made even more special by the Reserve food and staff. We'll be back as often as possible.

Excellent fine dining in a casual atmosphere. Not a mediocre dish on the menu! And, staying here 7 nights, we literally have tried everything! Great jazz playing all the time. Staff is wonderful. The best restaurant in downtown KCMO!

The Reserve has great food and service, but what really makes this place stand out is its plush and cozy atmosphere. They have awesome Happy Hour specials that go until 7 pm and well-balanced lunch and dinner menus. On the weekends, they have live jazz and ballads from 8 to 11 pm. This is definitely one of the best downtown Kansas City restaurants.
